C#-F#-A-A#
[Verse]:
C
Ring the verse, let it in, said softly begin
A#
If it feels like the first time, don't let it end
F G# A#
Cause it wanders by like something that could have been
C A#
If I were to write the song that could penetrate your ears
F
Would it calm your trembling soul
G# A#
Would it ease your every fear
Pre-Chorus to Chorus:
Dm F
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Dm G#
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
A# C#-F#-A-A# C#-F#-A-A#
And you shiver at the sight...
C F G# A# C#-F#-A-A#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
[Verse]:
C
Could one song solve all our problems
A#
Could it have the strength to heal
F
Or would it cripple and destroy
G# A#
And leave nothing unrevealed
C
Might it uproot every lie
A#
And force us all to cower
F
Beneath its tremendous weight
G# A#
In the wake of all its power
Pre-Chorus to Chorus:
Dm F
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Dm G#
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
A# C#-F#-A-A# C#-F#-A-A#
And you shiver at the sight...
C F G# A# C#-F#-A-A#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
C#-F#-A-A# (4x)
[Solo]:
C A# F A-A# (2x)
C
Oh, did you know, did you know
Did you know better
A#
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
F
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
G#
Don't you know that
A# C#-F#-A-A# C#-F#-A-A#
you shiver at the sight...
C F G# A# C#-F#-A-A#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
C F G# A#
If I were to write the song
C F G# A#
That could somehow change the world
C F
Would it be a calm surrender
G# A#
Or a fight to the death?
C F
Would it give something to live for
G# A#
Would we give our final breath?
C F
Would it be a roaring opera
G# A#
Or as sweet as a child's kiss?
C F
Would it sound like all the others
G# A#
Or would it sound something like this
